I recently found the "classic" car section of Ebay - what an interesting selection of yesterday's cars! http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=e...

Why don't we post old cars we find interesting for whatever reason (the reason can be nostalgia, not seen one of those for a while, mum had one when I was a kid, or even that they are a good car). Stick to a budget of £5k to make them affordable.

I love this Golf GLS:

What a good idea for a thread.

My mother had a Golf of about that age, but not the posh GLS - just the L, with a 1.3 litre engine. I don't have fond memories of it, but seeing this one does bring a certain feeling of nostalgia!

I reckon this thread deserves to fly. Nice idea.

How is that Golf still solid? Assuming it is...

I had a 1976 Golf L in the mid/late 80s and it was falling apart under me.

I also thought we need a thread like this. Perhaps similar to the fleet for £100k, but what small nostalgic selection could you buy for your £5k total budget.

I have felt for a while that we need a thread for all those random interesting possible purchases - not quite classic perhaps, but old & retro and interesting for whatever reason. The £5k limit keeps it to what the average person can buy.

Great thread! I want that Jenson Healey convertible.

How much pain would it inflict?

And the silver 500SL looks fantastic!

Very cool and white is apparently in fashion. The exhaust seems to stick out even more than I remember it to though!

But if I was feeling really brave, this Panhard PL17 restoration project:

That's been reduced (I think).

Needless to say I love W124s - I did 1k miles in mine last weekend.

Not a true classic, but alas. Perfect for me. Just need the money!

What a good looking car - it looks like an alfa.

Imaginary conversation: "what do you drive?" - "a mazda" - this car couldn't be further away from most peoples' views of a mazda!

I had never even heard of that but I'd seriously love to own one, looks great and would confuse all the old car beards.

Bit like a Toyota Corona.

I agree.

The mods should move it to the Classic Cars and Yesterday's Heroes area?
